I am brand new member of this e-boat group. The worm winch is of interest to me. Why is your worm winch slow?? Do you give hints to avoid this?

As brand new owner of "Empyrean" hull Nr. 155 I don`t know much about the speed of e-boats (ice on the river Elbe).

Has anyone replaced theirs, with what and how well does it work?
